Holographic Dark Energy Model with Quintessence in Bianchi Type-I Space-Time

In this paper, we have studied a homogeneous and anisotropic universe filled with matter and holographic dark energy components. Assuming deceleration parameter to be a constant, an exact solution to Einstein’s field equations in axially symmetric Bianchi type-I line element is obtained. A correspondence between the holographic dark energy models with the quintessence dark energy models is also established. Quintessence potential and the dynamics of the quintessence scalar field are reconstructed, which describe accelerated expansion of the universe.     

Time-Dependent Dark Energy Density and Holographic DE Model with Interaction

In this article we consider holographic dark energy model with interaction and space curvature. We calculate cosmic scale factor by using the time-dependent dark energy density. Then we obtain phenomenological interaction between holographic dark energy and matter.     

Cosmological Constant or Variable Dark Energy？

Selection statics of the Akaike information criterion （AIC） model and the Bayesian information criterion （BIC） model are applied to the A-cold dark matter （ACDM） cosmological model, the constant equation of state of dark energy, w =constant, and the parametrized equation of state of dark energy, w（z） = wo ＋ wlz/（1 ＋ z）, to determine which one is the better cosmological model to describe the evolution of the universe by combining the recent cosmic observational data including She Ia, the size of baryonic acoustic oscillation （BAO） peak from SDSS, the three-year WMAP CMB shift parameter. The results show that AIC, BIC and current datasets are not powerful enough to discriminate one model from the others, though odds suggest differences between them.     

Holographic Ricci Dark Energy Model

In this paper, we consider holographic Ricci dark energy model, and by using general relativity equations obtain time-dependent density of the Universe. We show that the resulting density in independent of space curvature.     

Weak Gravity Conjecture and Holographic Dark Energy Model with Interaction and Spatial Curvature

In the paper, we apply the weak gravity conjecture to the holographic quintessence model of dark energy. Three different holographic dark energy models are considered: without the interaction in the non-flat universe; with interaction in the flat universe; with interaction in the non-flat universe. We find that
only in the models with the spatial curvature and interaction term proportional to the energy density of matter, it is possible for the weak gravity conjecture to be satisfied. And it seems that the weak gravity conjecture favors an open universe and the decaying of matter into dark energy.     

Statefinder Diagnosis for the Extended Holographic Ricci Dark Energy Model without and with Interaction

We apply the statefinder diagnostic to the extended holographic Ricci dark energy (ERDE) model without and with interaction to study their behaviors. We plot the trajectories of various parameters for different cases. It is shown that the non-interacting model does not reach the LCDM point {1, 0 } and the interacting one is favored, because the interaction makes the evolution of the statefinder pair r, s quite different.     

Holographic Dark Energy in Higher Derivative Gravity with Varying Gravitational Constant

In this paper we investigate the holographic dark energy scenario in higher derivative gravity with a varying gravitational constant. We introduce a kind of energy density from higher derivative gravity which has role of the same as holographic dark energy. We obtain the exact differential equation , which determine the evolution of the dark energy density based on varying gravitational constant G. We also find out a cosmological application of our work by evaluating a relation for the equation of state of dark energy for low redshifts containing varying G correction.     

Bianchi Type-I Space-Time with Variable Cosmological Constant

A spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-I perfect fluid model is considered with variable cosmological constant. Einstein’s field equations are solved by using a law of variation for mean Hubble’s parameter, which is related to average scale factor and that yields a constant value of deceleration parameter. An exact and singular Bianchi-I model is presented, where the cosmological constant remains positive and decreases with the cosmic time. It is found that the solutions are consistent with the recent observations of type Ia supernovae. A detailed study of physical and kinematical properties of the model is carried out.     

A Dark Energy Model with Higher Derivative and Cosmological Evolution

We construct dark energy models which have high derivative terms. In the framework of a single scalar field model with a higher derivative, the equation of state （EOS） ω might have some special character in the evolvement, which states that the universe will evolve in some interesting ways. We study the different kinds of dark energy models, and classify them into several genera by their character in the evolvement.     

Remarks on the Formulation of the Cosmological Constant/Dark Energy Problems

Associated with the cosmic acceleration are the old and new cosmological constant problems, recently put into the more general context of the dark energy problem. In broad terms, the old problem is related to an unexpected order of magnitude of this component while the new problem is related to this magnitude being of the same order of the matter energy density during the present epoch of cosmic evolution. Current plans to measure the equation of state or density parameters certainly constitute an important approach; however, as we discuss, this approach is faced with serious feasibility challenges and is limited in the type of conclusive answers it could provide. Therefore, is it really too early to seek actively for new tests and approaches to these problems? In view of the difficulty of this endeavor, we argue in this work that a good place to start is by questioning some of the assumptions underlying the formulation of these problems and finding new ways to put this questioning to the test. First, we calculate how much fine tuning the cosmic coincidence problem represents. Next, we discuss the potential of some cosmological probes such as weak gravitational lensing to identify novel tests to probe dark energy questions and assumptions and provide an example of consistency tests. Then, motivated by some theorems in General Relativity, we discuss if the full identification of the cosmological constant with vacuum energy is unquestionable. We discuss some implications of the simplest solution for the principles of General Relativity. Also, we point out the relevance of experiments at the interface of astrophysics and quantum field theory, such as the Casimir effect in gravitational and cosmological contexts. We conclude that challenging some of the assumptions underlying the cosmological constant problems and putting them to the test may prove useful and necessary to make progress on these questions.     

Holographic Dark Energy (DE) Cosmological Models with Quintessence in Bianchi Type-V Space Time

In this paper, author studied homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-V universe filled with matter and holographic dark energy (DE) components. The exact solutions to the corresponding Einstein’s field equations are obtained for exponential and power-law volumetric expansion. The holographic dark energy (DE) EoS parameter behaves like constant, i.e. ω _Λ =?1, which is mathematically equivalent to cosmological constant (Λ) for exponential expansion of the model, whereas the holographic dark energy (DE) EoS parameter behaves like quintessence for power-law expansion of the model. A correspondence between the holographic dark energy (DE) models with the quintessence dark energy (DE) is also established. Quintessence potential and dynamics of the quintessence scalar field are reconstructed, which describe accelerated expansion of the universe. The statefinder diagnostic pair {r,s} is adopted to characterize different phases of the universe.     

Holographic Ricci Dark Energy Model with Non-constant c 2 Term

In this paper, we study holographic Ricci dark energy model with non-constant c ² term in dark energy density formula. We consider FRW metric in flat space-time and calculate density. Also we find scale factor and Hubble expansion parameter.     

Thermodynamical Aspects of Modified Holographic Dark Energy Model

We investigate the unified first law and the generalized second law in a modified holographic dark energy model. The thermodynamical analysis on the apparent horizon can work and the corresponding entropy formula is extracted from the systematic algorithm. The entropy correction term depends on the extra-dimension number of the brane as expected, but the interplay between the correction term and the extra dimensions is more complicated. With the unified first law of thermodynamics well-founded, the generalized second law of thermodynamics is discussed and it is found that the second law can be violated in certain circumstances. Particularly, if the number of the extra dimensions is larger than one, the generalized law of thermodynamics is always satisfied; otherwise, the validity of the second law can only be guaranteed with the Hubble radius greatly smaller than the crossover scale r_c of the 5-dimensional DGP model.     

Interacting Holographic Polytropic Gas Model of Dark Energy

In this work, we establish a correspondence between the holographic dark energy model and polytropic gas model of dark energy in the FRW universe. This correspondence allows us to reconstruct the potential and the dynamics for the scalar field of the polytropic model according to the evolution of holographic dark energy in the FRW universe.
